In spring 2014 WCSU embarked on a new Strategic Planning Initiative in order to examine and update the 2005 Strategic Plan. President Schmotter formed a Steering Committee and charged them with coordinating the university-wide effort to revisit the university’s Mission, Vision & Values, and Strategic Goals.

Meaningful, effective strategic planning necessitates the participation of WCSU faculty, staff, and students as well as key individuals from the nonprofit, governmental, and business communities. Participation will be sought through these and other avenues:

School opening meetings

Meetings with specific internal and external groups

Online survey and suggestion box

Open forums

Individual contacts

Stakeholders Conference

Shared Governance

Student government and organizations

Expected Planning Time Frame:

Formation of Steering Committee: January 2014

Establishment of Subcommittees: March 2014

Obtain feedback from WCSU community on existing Mission: August-October 2014

Steering Committee to draft Mission: October 2014

Stakeholders Conference

Obtain feedback and approval from WCSU community and external stakeholders on draft Mission: December 2014-February 2015
